What do you mean?

Yes, work as expected.

You are sure that nothing was changed at this file(s) (timestamps,
attributes, owner)?
e.g.   pool 700 4294967295/4294967295  48 2c8/Bliwa/data/log/log.ctrl
have    access-rights 700
        owner 4294967295
        group 4294967295
        size 48 bytes

Do you use --time as rsyncd parameter?

Yes, that is normal.
